Biography

Verlinda was born in 1735. [citation needed] She passed away in 1780. [1] Note: Thomas W Harvey, was said to have been born in 1781 so it would be assumed that Verlinda died after his birth and before the marriage of William and Elizabeth took place. William and Elizabeth married sometime between the death of Verlinda (after 1781) and the death of William (1787/88). William is not found in the 1790 US census.

Parents

Verlinda Wade, was the daughter of Zephaniah Wade and Verlinda (Pottenger) Wade. [2]

Valinda Wade sells to George Washington “one Moiety of a certain Tract or parcel of Land purchased by her Father Zephaniah Wade of William Spencer and Elizabeth his Wife by Deeds of Lease & Release bearing date the 3d & 4th days of April 1739 for Five hundred Acres (it being part of a larger Tract granted in the year of our Lord 1674 to Colo. Nicholas Spencer & Lieutt Colo. John Washington for 5000 Acres one Moiety of which descending to the aforesaid William Spencer Grandson & Heir at Law to the said Nicholas he conveyed the above quantity of 500 Acres to the said Zephaniah Wade in manner aforementioned, who also sold part thereof to Thomas Marshall of the Provence of Maryland and dying Intestate, the Residue, containing by estimation One hundred and Seventy five Acres descended to his three Surviving daughters to wit Eleanor who Intermarried with John Barry, and died, leaving Issue—Valinda, party to these presents—and Sarah, who dying childless, and without disposing of her Interest in the said Land, the property of the whole Tract (which the said Zephaniah died possessd of) became vested in the said Valinda and the Representative of her Sister Eleanor to be divided between them in such wise as the Laws & Customs of the Country directs—and now to be bounded agreeable to a division hereafter to be made between the said George Washington in Right of his purchase from the said Valinda and the Heir of Eleanor Barry " “Deed from Valinda Wade, 18 December 1770,” Founders Online, National Archives, last modified July 12, 2016 [2]

Spouse

William Harvey born est. 1740-45 and died 1787-88 in Edgefield Co., SC. married 1st Verlinda (Wade). Married 2nd Elizabeth Jameson, widow of Micajah Andrews. [3] This is the same William Harvey that many Harvey researchers have tried to place a birth date of 1710-20 but I think that is not accurate. Also many Harvey researchers have tried to have him married to a Elizabeth Mikel but I can prove that was a completely different William Harvey. Note: This researcher is a descendant and has put together some misconceptions about the Harvey family. Verlinda Wade is Williams first wife, Elizabeth his second , widow of Micajah Andrews

Residence

19 August 1752, page 227
Ordered that the Titheable Persons belonging to Valinda Wade and Mr. Thomas Marshall do work on and Assist in Clearing the Road whereof George William Fairfax Gent. is Surveyor [4]
18 February 1755, page 207
On the motion of John Barry it is ordered that John Peake, John Posey & Daniel French or any two of them do view the path leading thro the plantation of Verlinda Wade and report on oath whether it may be Conveniently Turned. [5]
18 March 1755, page 286
The persons appointed for viewing the path leading thro the plantation of Virlinda Wade report on oath that it may be conveniently turned, whereupon she has liberty to stop the old way after the new one is cleared. [6]

Verlinda is said by some to have been a Wade, but this writer has not seen the evidence in favor of this.

Verlinda was born in 1730. [7]

Sources

  1. In the 1790 US census for South Carolina there are 18 Harvey Heads of Households listed. There is only one Harvey listed in Edgefield District and that is an individual named Sethaniah Harvey, relationship unknown. There is no Verlinda Harvey listed in the 1790 SC census but there is an Elizabeth Harvey located at Laurens, South Carolina. A death date of 1780 for Verlinda is in conflict with the documented marriage date (1779) between WIlliam Harvey and Elizabeth (Jameson-567)

Copy of the will of William Harveythat records his daughter Verlinda being named after her mother, Verlinda Wade: The Will of William HARVEY exists in two states: The first is the archetype, dated 1 December 1787, which appears to be in the hand of Hugh Middleton to whom, as it also appears, William HARVEY dictated its essential contents. The archetype, that is, Middleton's holograph, was signed by William HARVEY. This is the document which, in court, Hugh Middleton proved by oath on 15 October 1788. The second is the proof-text which, on or before 15 October 1788, was copied from the archetype by the clerk of court for Edgefield County, South Carolina and which is recorded in Will Book A, pages 5 and 6. The recension given below is a transcription of the archetype which has been collated with the proof-text: [Page 1] I, William Harvey1, now2 being in my perfect senses and memory but weak in body3 and knowing that I must, as being mortal, depart this life and having assurance and firm hope that my body will, at the resurrection, arise and body and soul4 be reunited: And first in the name of God Amen, I give and bequeath my soul to God that gave it me. And I do leave my well beloved wife, Elizabeth5, and Hilliry Philips6, Zaphaniah7 Harvey my Executors. First I will and bequeath to my wife, Elizabeth Harvey, a wench8 called Jane, during her natural9 life. And after her decease to be with her the said Jane and all her increase to be equally divided between Martha10, Mary & James Harvey11 my loving daughters12 and son: I also give to my wife her bed and furniture that she lyes in13 and the chest. I give Dick14 to her also but she the said Elizabeth is to pay of the heirs of Micajah Andrews what is acoming15 to them and to each of them: And I give the sorrel mare called hers and the saddle and one hundred bushels of corn and all her crockery16 ware and her and her children to have an equal part of all the hogs and cattle to be divided between Zaphaniah Harvey, John and William, Nehemiah, Thomas, Elender & Lincy, my loving wife sons and daughters17. And also I give to my wife one pot known to be hers formerly, And the bed called Salley’s18 I give to Sarah Andrews19. And to my wife I give one plow and 2 hoes: Item20 three sheep: Secondly I give to my son Zapheniah, one negroe boy called Joe. And all my lands to be equally divided between my sons Zapheniah, William, John, Nehemiah, Thomas & James Harveys: Thirdly I leave it to the discretion of my Executors to sell and dispose of my lands to the best advantage and divide the money as above mentioned, each his part equally. [Page 2] Fourthly, I give and bequeath to my son, William, my young bay mare I had of Patterson and all my wearing apparel. Fifthly, I give to my daughter, Elander, one Negroe girl name Rose & bed21. Sixthly, I bequeath to my son, John, a young mare Proqick. To my sons I give equally to be divided Vine and Beck22 to wit each his part, William, John, Nehemiah and Thomas. I give to my daughter, Lincy23, a negroe boy, Peter, a bed and furniture. I give to my sons Nehemiah and Thomas my big sorrel mare24 and all her increase. I lastly give to my sons all my household furniture, work tools25 &c. that aint26 been before mentioned: And what Debts I owe I desire that it may be discharged out of my stock of cattle and hogs & I desire that my two daughters, Ann and Elizabeth, each to have five shillings sterling to be paid by my Executors when demanded. Signed Sealed and delivered In the presence of us This 1st day of December 1787 /s/ Hugh Middleton } } /s/ William Harvey }

/s/ Lucy Middleton }

Notes: 1. William Harvey: William HARVEY died between 1 December 1787, the date of his Will, and 14 January 1788 when his widow, Elizabeth, qualified in court as executrix of his estate.

2. now: In the archetype, this appears as know.

3. body: In the archetype, body is spelled as boddy.

4. soul: In the archetype, soul is spelled as sole.

5. Elizabeth: This was Elizabeth JAMESON, the second wife of William HARVEY, and previously the wife of Micajah ANDREWS.

6. Hilliry Philips: This was Hilleary PHILLIPS, the son of John PHILIPS (ABT 1726, Surry County, Virginia, British North America - 28 March 1784, Wilkes County, Georgia) and Ruth BEALL (ABT 1712, Prince George's County, Maryland, British North America - 1777, Richmond County, Georgia). By his descendants, he is recorded as the husband of Mary Ann HARVEY, the daughter of William HARVEY and Verlinda <WADE?>. [See G0497A: William PHILLIPS (Jr.), note 1, in Antecedents and Descendants of Whitmell Phillips (ABT 1772 - 1822) and see below, note 6, on Margaret and Rachel JONES.]

7. Zaphaniah: This is difficult to make out in the archetype. The proof-text reads Zachariah.

8. wench: That is, a female household slave. About Jane, see immediately below, the indenture of Elizabeth Walker to Sims & Byne, 22 September 1807.

9. natural: In the archetype, natural is spelled as natrel.

10. Martha: In the archetype, the pointed ligature connecting the letters a and t justifies the reading of this as Marthew. In the proof-text, the name is given as Mathew. Subsequent court-documents show that Martha is, in fact, the proper reading. To confirm the name Martha, see immediately below, the indenture of Elizabeth Walker to Sims & Byne, 22 September 1807.

11. Martha, Mary & James Harvey: These three persons were the offspring of William HARVEY and his second wife, Elizabeth JAMESON.

12. daughters: In both the archetype and the proof-text, this is plural. And it demonstrates that Marthew or Mathew must be read as Martha.

13. in: The proof-text reads this as on.

14. Dick: Dick, a slave, was brought into this estate by Elizabeth JAMESON upon her marriage to William HARVEY.

15. acoming: This is an American vulgar error for coming. In the proof-text, the copyist, who wrote coming, added the letter a interlinearly.

16. crockery: In the archetype, this is spelled as crokery.

17. Zaphaniah Harvey, John and William, Nehemiah, Thomas, Elender & Lincy, my loving wife sons and daughters: These were the offspring of William HARVEY and his first wife, Verlinda <WADE>.

18. Salley’s: Only the termination of this name is legible in the archetype. The proof-text supplies it completely. Salley was Sarah ANDREWS.

19. Sarah Andrews: In both the archetype and the proof-text, Andrews is given as Andres. Sarah ANDREWS was the daughter of Elizabeth JAMESON and her first husband, Micajah ANDREWS.

20. Item: Persons unfamiliar with Romance languages should understand that the word item is Latin and that it means "also." With that meaning, it is frequently encountered in the legal Latin of testaments and inventories.

21: & bed: In the archetype, this is an interlinear addition.

22. Vine and Beck: Vine and Beck were the slaves of William HARVEY.

23. Lincy: This was Verlinda HARVEY, named after her mother, Verlinda <WADE>.

24. my big sorrel mare: In the archetype, this is difficult to make out. The proof-text supplies the reading.

25: work tools: The proof-text supplies this as my work tools.

26. aint: This is an Anglo-American vulgar error.

I found these several sources for the Wade family. I haven't had the opportunity to check them out, and I don't want to add them to the profile since I'm not the profile manager, but I thought I'd post them here for the profile manager to use or delete .
